I was expected to reach alot of high expectations for given standards in my household, as well as society. I was expected to talk and possibly marry someone my race; male. I was expected to be quiet and pure. And to be girly and dainty. I was expected to be graceful and to hinder my thoughts and emotions as a young girl.
